A parked car went missing for an Omaha college student after a drunk driver crashed into it early Sunday morning, and now, she demands to know why police never notified her that her car was totaled and towed.

Dana McGill parked her car at 13th and Farnam streets Saturday night while she was with friends in the Old Market, but when she went to get her car in the morning, it was gone.

“I was shocked. I was confused and didn't know what happened to my car. I thought it was stolen,” McGill said.

The 23-year-old nursing student immediately called police, who told her that her car was involved in an accident and was towed from the scene.

According to a police report, a drunk driver in a white truck hit her car around 3 a.m. Miguel Polacio-Guzman was cited for driving under the influence, hitting a fixed object and driving without a license.

“I’m being responsible and not drinking and driving, and some drunk driver hits my car and totals it,” McGill said.

McGill was unable to see the damage until Monday morning when the impound lot opened and didn't see the police report until Tuesday. She wonders why police never contacted her in the first place.

“My car got hit and was totaled by a drunk driver. I probably should have been notified,” she said.

The Omaha Police Department said, “We make every reasonable attempt to notify owners in situations like this."

But that doesn’t make McGill feel any better, seeing what used to be her Toyota Camry at the impound lot.

“I just can’t believe this happened. He had to have hit a couple things because the front end is damaged the other side is damaged,” McGill said.

Now, her only mode of transportation is shattered and crushed. She said she learned several valuable lessons.

“Don’t drink and drive. Don’t leave your car downtown,” she said.

Omaha City Engineer Todd Pfitzer said McGill had the right to park her car there overnight since it was over the weekend, but parking on a public street, regardless of whether there's a meter, is at your own risk.

Officials said it is always safer to park your car in a parking lot or garage to avoid accidents.
